CDS to Nigerians: Give us information, security is everybody’s business

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa, has urged Nigerians to provide the necessary information that would aid the operations of security operatives in the country.

Musa said this while delivering his address at the 48th Annual National Conference of the Muslim Elders Association of Nigeria in Abuja on Saturday, August 24, 2024.

The event had the theme, “Making Living Worthwhile for All: Islamic Solutions to Economic and Security Challenges”.

The association was created to promote peace, foster brotherhood, and enhance leadership values, education, and humanitarian services.

The CDS, who was represented by Maj. Gen. Shuab Bashir, said security is everybody’s business, stressing that collaboration with relevant agencies would aid the quest to address the economic and security challenges in the country.

“Security is everybody’s business; everyone must be involved. It should not be left to the security agencies alone. People must give us useful information,” he said.

While corroborating the position of the CDS, the representative of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Commissioner of Police, Uba Alkali, said effective security required the collective efforts of all citizens.

“Security is everyone’s responsibility. I urge you all to work with the police to serve humanity,” Alkali said.
